April 2018 TBR

So my intention for this month was to have essentially no TBR and ‘shop my shelves’ for books I’ve had lying around and may have forgotten about. I decided to pick out a couple of priority titles and go from there. Guess how many ‘priority’ books I picked? 14. So I guess I unintentionally picked… Continue reading

March 2018 Reading Round-Up

So March was an unexpectedly great month for reading. I’ve been feeling like I’ve not been reading enough lately, but that’s clearly not true. Why? I read 12 books in March. 12 books! To be fair, they were a combination of full-length novels, shorter books, and graphic novels (which I absolutely power through). Regardless, I’m… Continue reading

Discussion: How Do You Read Series?

It’s discussion time again! One of the side effects of blogging is that I’m becoming more and more aware that other people have vastly different reading habits from myself. What a weird concept. One thing I’ve realised is the fact that everyone reads series in a different way. Continue reading

March 2018 TBR

I have decided to do something a little bit different with my TBR this month. I’ll usually have about 12-15 books on my TBR to give myself a little variety during the month, but that means I usually don’t finish them. February was a little bit of a disaster in terms of my TBR for… Continue reading

Reading Round-up: February 2018

My monthly TBR was mostly set by Scottish Fiance, but the whole TBR was thrown out of whack for a number of reasons (the main one being that we accidentally left the backpack containing all my books on the train home from Edinburgh and it had to be rescued by my mum the next day),… Continue reading

Book Review: The Diviners by Libba Bray

The Diviners is a book that has been on my radar for absolute ages. It was brought to my attention again thanks to the book blogging community, and I’m so glad I picked it up. It is a difficult one to rate, though. I really loved it — seriously, it has been one of my… Continue reading

Scottish Fiance Picks My February TBR

Hello all you wonderful readers! I decided to do something a little different this month for my TBR — I let Scottish Fiance choose what I will read. I picked out the books I know I need to read this month and let him choose the rest. Was I worried? Absolutely. Did I need to… Continue reading

Weekly Wrap-Up: 26 January 2018

Happy Friday! I’ve been a little quiet here and on social media this week because, well, everything else in my life has been crazy! Work is crazy, personal life is crazy, I’m attempting to start training for a half marathon, and we are packing up and heading to Edinburgh on Tuesday. Being so busy is… Continue reading

About Me

Welcome to my corner of the bookish internet. I’m an American who has lived in the UK for almost 10 years, a publishing professional, and lifelong lover of books. I make it my mission to shout about books all over the internet and share my enthusiasm with other readers. I read a little bit of everything, but my main genres of choice are horror, fantasy, and science fiction.

I aim to start conversations about books and reading, link readers to new authors and titles they’ll love, provide insightful review the books I’m reading, and discover new writers and subgenres on this blog.
